Foiling Forecast: Geneva

What weather should fans expect at the Switzerland Sail Grand Prix?
Published 09/16/2026
SailGP makes its second stop in Geneva for the Rolex Switzerland Sail Grand Prix – bringing the curtain down on the European leg of the 2026 Season.
Lac Léman, to give the venue its proper name, is unique on the SailGP calendar as the only lake and therefore the only freshwater venue the fleet will traverse this season.
But what should the 13-strong fleet expect?
Warm and pleasant conditions are forecast on Saturday for Day 1 racing with temperatures of around 73.4f and only a six per cent change of precipitation.
Much like last season, this is expected to be a light-air venue with a North-Easterly wind of just 6mph, gusting 10.5mph. That should mean teams race in four- or five-up configurations. 
Day 2 is a little warmer with temperatures of 78.8f in Geneva. The chance of rain is further reduced to just four per cent and in even better news, there could be more wind.
An 8mph NE wind is expected throughout the afternoon but could gust up to 13.6mph which should ensure foiling action for spectators.
